Day 9: Harlowton-Billings

Today was going to be a easy day. Mostly down hill and with only a distance of around 150 kilometers. The tiredness from yesterday is gone after a somewhat longer night (I got to sleep in until 6 AM). The first hour of biking went very well with a average of 37+ km/h. The route was easy to. Just go straight for 75 kilometers, take a right and go another 75 kilometers. Now that we have the Rocky Mountains behind us the roads will only get flatter and more straight.

After around 45 minutes I really had to do a number two. No problem, that's why I brought my TP. But when I found a suitable spot there was a farmer on a quad. That's why I hid between some grass to to my thing. Unfortunately it was infested with flies and the grass itched. I had to scratch it for a hour or so.

On the campsite I was one of the first to arrive (for a change). I estimate that I'm at least in the top-10. Enough time to set up my tent and unload the truck.

A hour after we arrived it started to rain and thunder like crazy. Fortunately we could take shelter in the showers. A good time to update my blog. For dinner we went to the camp site's BBQ… ribs, hmmm!
